announced today that they have completed an agreement for the purchase and
installation for a “dry” processing mineral separating unit with the French-based
company, Imerys, a world leader in mineral-based specialty solutions.

STET develops and manufactures Triboelectrostatic separators for the fly ash and
minerals industry.

“It’s a great honor to have the opportunity to partner with Imerys,” stated Mike Allen,
STET’s President. “This is a perfect example of how our beneficiation separators bring
added value. This innovative technology recovers valuable products from what was
